One of the fondest memories from my childhood has to be the one night every year when I was allowed to stay up really late; the night of the Eurovision song contest. I haven't been watching it for years now, but had to last night. Lordi bloody well won the thing. This is so funny!

J is for Journals has a bit of journalling on the back: When I was a kid and had to deal with all the pains of growing up, I did a lot of journalling. Somewhere along the journey I lost my voice. I'm now learning to write about me and my life again.

Supplies: Background stamp from TAC and the key diecut is made with my QuicKutz.

J is for Jouni has a name of a song scribbled on the back. The song pretty much summarizes how I've been feeling lately. Oh and Jouni is a friend, in case you wonder, and he will get this card as soon as he asks me over for coffee (Sunday ok for you?).

Supplies: the letter stencil is from Ma Vinci (I love that place!!), it's been covered with all sorts of randomly stamped images from Ink and the Dog, Ma Vinci and Sunday International. A little dragonfly brad on the one corner and a bat eyelet on the other; a bit of an inside joke there.

Journalling: I love our home, with all its clutter and dust and endless cat hair. I also love fancy zines that give you the latest trends in home decor. But I wouldn't trade our home for any of their fancy creations.

Supplies: Everything is recycled, the card is cut of a panel sample, and decorated with clip-outs from an old wall calendar and an issue of Good Housekeeping.

Ok, so I had an idea of making a cutesy summer card for a friend, I had all sorts of fun materials to play with and in my mind's eye it looked great. Put it together in real life and... no good. Oh well, can't win every time!

Oh and I will post the failed thing, too, let it be a reminder that it's ok to try new things, lol!

Report on our May 1st festivities: went to the market square where people gather round noon (some for political reasons, some for other), bought DD an ice cream cone, had lunch, got the obligatory balloon for DD (featuring Disney princess characters this year), walked home and collapsed for a nap! Off to a friends' house in a bit and later to the movies to see Syriana. Will try to post my ATC for the letter G tomorrow, be prepared for a big laugh then!
